decrease gradually to 10x as you move further away (up to about 1” or
25mm). You will have to refocus at each position.
3. For high power, you will move the focus knob almost all the way to the right
which will give you 150x. At the high power, your views will be greatly
magnified but somewhat darker and sometimes hard to find the object. The
most enjoyable views can be at the lower powers which have a wider field of
view and brighter image. Also, the microscope must be directly on the object.
Illumination
The LEDs of the microscope are automatically turned on when the USB cable is
inserted into the USB port on your computer. There is no illumination adjustment on
this microscope but you may be able to position the microscope over the object you
are viewing at different angles (or positions) to give the optimum illumination.
Stand
You can use the microscope by holding it with your hand.
However, if you want a steadier view for looking or
imaging you may prefer to mount the microscope in the
stand.
Hold the microscope as shown on page 5 and then push it
into the holding bracket on the stand. The correct
positioning of the stand bracket is shown to the left.
You can then position the stand at various angles by
loosening the locking knob and then retightening it.
